carrots

Carrot is the new pumpkin! Yes I know there's many of the larger orange orbs around right now in most areas, but please don't forget the lowly carrot. Carrots deserve your support as they smaller, tasty and more portable! Okay, yes that was weird, but carrots bring out the weirdness in me, maybe it's all of the vitamins, they give me more energy.

I made this simple soup today with about 15 minutes of hands-on time. For a quick lunch or first course, you can't go wrong, and the price is right as you can grow the two main ingredients yourself!

I was able to use the whey that I made yesterday to make ginger carrots today! What are ginger carrots, you say? Well, they are the very first fermented vegetable that I ever made! And they are very good… mild sweet tangy flavor that complement many dishes. The carrots are meant to be used as a condiment of sorts (like sauerkraut), and contain a lot of beneficial bacteria that aids in digestion. That is why these are great to eat with meat. I have even made a quick snack of ginger carrots and a piece of cheese and maybe a cracker or two… tasty! The ultimate ‘fast' food!
